Heading
into my third year as principal, I am honored to continue to serve our
learning community. I am also very appreciative of our teachers’, students’,
and community’s relentless focus on learning. Every year, our school is
recognized as one of the top high schools in Oregon. Our dedicated teachers,
supportive families, and highly motivated students allow us to continue this
excellence.

We
look forward to welcoming over 1,900 students this fall. We will have over 400
students entering their senior year along with 450 students beginning their
freshman year! We take pride at West Linn High School in creating an
environment where students thrive. We are a comprehensive high school, excelling
in academics, athletics, arts, and community service. We create many
opportunities for students to find success in many areas.

Above
all, we strongly believe success comes from building strong relationships with
our students and families. We strive to be transparent in our work and to
communicate effectively to all stakeholders. We are all in this together, and
we encourage all families and students to engage with us in our collective
pursuit of lifelong learning.

If
you have any questions or comments for me, please do not hesitate to email me
at millsk@wlwv.k12.or.us or call me at 503-673-7800. Again,
welcome back to school! We look forward to getting to know you and your student
as we work together this year and for years to come.
